Upgraded bash now can`t log in-/dev/tty1: Bad file descriptor
G`day all
I upgraded bash to 2.0.1-1 and it did not install properly.
Unfortunately my computer went off because of a power failure. Now I
can`t login. I have booted using the rescue disk and changed
/etc/passwd to ash. When I reboot I can`t login. After the password I
get a
unable to change tty /dev/tty1: Bad file descriptor
Anyone know how I can get around this? If I press ctrl-alt-del I get a
maintenance prompt and it asks for the root password. I get in but I
can`t do anything says no job control processes. I desperately need to
get my machine back running. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
